TRUE success means the development
of character that is worthy of exam
ple-character that is honest to every
duty, faithful to every trust. and that is
unselfish enough to find time for kindly
acts that are not forced, but the simple
expression of warm and generous
principle. True success Is fidelity to ev-
ery relation in life.

of evaporation. 1t gives back what it
receives and sends up its waters in

Christian Antiquities in Rome.

A correspondent writes from Rome
to the Frankfurter Zaitung: "Some
time since, owing to the exertions Of
the Passlonist monk, Father German
us, two chambers of q Roman house
of the fourth century were discovered
under the high altar of the church OF
SIS. John and Paul, on the Colian
Hill. Quite lately another large
chamber has been discovered beneath
the nave of the church, which seems
to have been the tablarium OF the
house. The traces, very well pre-
served, are visible of what must have
been valuable paintings representing
wild beasts, sea horses, and other dec
orations. Especially remarkable are
two pictures of unQuestionable Chris
tian character. One represents the
Patriarch Moses in the act ofremoving
his shoes before approaching the
burning bush, subject which is also
represented in one of the pictures in
the catacomb of Calixus. The other
represents g. woman praying; she is
clad IN white tunic, with g. veil on
her head, a necklace Of pearls, and
arms outstretched. This is believed
to be the first specimen of a Roman
house in which scenes Of q Christian
character have been found represent.
ed. Such subjects have hitherto been
| found only in the catacombs."

The Violinists' Fingers Tire.
From the Albany Journal.

FROM Ln6 Albany JOurnal
Ii seems to the spectator as if the
constant strain of bowling would tire g.
man after an hour and a half Of play
ing so that he could not go through
another piece. AS g. matter Of fact,
the arm OF s. violinist is rarely wearied
by the exercise, but he is, nevertheless,
very susceptible to fatigue in another
direction. His sensitive part is the
ends of the fingers Of the left hand.
An ordinary concert, or an opera even,
through which the violinists have to
play almost uninterruptedly, does
not bring any especial strain upon the
fingers, but several successive days of
playing tend to make them sore. This,
of course, will react upon the quality
of the performances, and directors
recognizing this, frequently forbid the
members of their orchestra TO play in
other bands When VIM. Gericks
took charge of the Boston Symphony
orchestra, he created g. great-sensa.
tion and greater discomfort by max
ing his musicians bind themselves by
cast-iron contract not to play in any
other organic alton or concern during
the entire season. The reason for
clans may injure their style by play
ing under different leaders, but be-
cause the constant demand for play
ers from the famous orchestra will tend
to keep them so active day after day
as to make their fingers particularly
sensitive to the action of the strings
upon them, and thus mar the fine
effects of the playing in a symphony
concert

Smuggling on the Border.
From the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Call.
"I was recently down at Nogales,
which, as you perhaps know, is on the
boundary line between Arizona and
Mexico, and I saw good deal of
funny business going on round there,

The speaker was Capt. Sam Bran-
nan. A reporter, scenting story,

"Well." he resumed, for the old man

Now, Nogales is only g. little place,
with about 600 inhabitants, and yet
it manages to support six restau-
rants. That struck me as strange,
more especially as the viands provid-
ed are always fresh and good. And
these restaurants were always crowd
ed with Cinnamon, and fresh Cinnamon

Found His Wife Through a Play.

From FOrelgn Letter.
The stage sometimes does more chan

his wife at the Cape ofGood Hope. On
the bills of the Theater Royal, Oar.
lington. Eng, during the last week in
October he saw the name of Miss
Hayes, whom he had seen acting at
the Cape. He went to the theater in
Darlington, and, to his surprise, found
that the play, '"The Golden Band, :"
was founded on the adventures OF a.
missing wife. With this as guide, he
went to his own brother and accused
him OF keeping his wife from him. The
brother confessed that the missing
lady was in a lunatic asylum, and that
the money the husband had sent her
had gone to friends. just before leay-
ing Darlington the husband called at
the stage door of the theater and de-
sired that his thanks be conveyed to

Why Jenny Lind Retired.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Many reasons for Jenny Lind's ear
~ retirement from the stage were
whispered about. The Bishop of Nor
wich, DR.. Stanley, it was said had con-
WINGED her that the stage was not an
improper sphere for good woman.
At one time it was said that his son,
the late Dean of Westminster, was
anxious to marry her, and she con-
tinued to be married off by public ru-
NOR to various church dignitaries and
noblemen. The gentlemen to whom
she was engaged, it was commonly
known, objected to her remaining on
the boards and she certainly left the
stage soon after her engagement. Still
for many years she continued from
time to time to appear In
the concert room. Merdelssohn
was extremely anxious to get
her for the first performance of
"Eiijah" at Birmingham, but seemed
afraid to ask her. He wrote the So
prano part expressly for her, and she
frequently sang it afterward, sbut not
on the opening day. Her appearance
in vast covered corn markets, winter
gardens, (for no place seemed big
enough to contain the crowds that
focked to hear her) were oddly spec
tacular. Her simplicity OF manner
and unaffected good nature won all
hearts. When she first appeared the
applause would continue rising and
falling for several minutes, and every
opera glass would then be leveled at
her. She never could begin her song
at once. The conductor resigned HIM
self, nor attempted to raise his baton,
the band stood at ease until the fren-
zy of excitement gradually subsidized.
All this time Jenny Lind would stand,
first one way, then another, some
times completely turning around, and
then back again, SO that everyone
could have q good look at their idol.

Temperance in Tennessee.
From the Nashville Banner.


IN Tennessee there are perhaps many
who favorably regard the Prohibition
movement who are stoutly opposed
to the abolition of the internal reve-
nue. system, with all that it implies in
its relation to other government
policies. There are also doubtless
Prchibitionists in the state who are
unswervingly opposed to the Blair
educational bill, and who, however
mistaken in their views. are convinced
that such measure would strike at
one of these fundamental principles OF
the government. There are many de-
voted Prohibitionists in Tennessee
who are emphatically opposed to a
third party movement, and we believe
the recent State Temperance Alliance
pronounced against such q movement
as inexpedient, at least in the present
state of affairs.

Sharing His Pay.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
The Italians tell a story which well
illustrates the principal that it is
never safe to make q corrupt Or ex'
tortionate bargain since the
very keeping of it may get the bar
gamer into trouble. The Marquis dc
la Scalas, g. very wealthy nobleman
had invited his neighbors to grand
entertainment, and proposed that
the feast which be served them should
lack no delicacy that could be OBJ
tanned. Some of the guests who had
arrived early for the purpose OF pay.
ing their respects to the marquis, we're
present in his chamber when his stew
ard came in and said that fisher
man had brought some of the finest
fish in all Italy, but demanded q most
extraordinary price.
"No matter about the price," said
the Marquis; "buy the fish and pay him
his money"
$50 I would" said the steward,
"but he refuses to take any money"
"Then what does he want ?"
"A hundred strokes with whip,
and he says he will not throw off q
single blow"
The whole company hereupon ran
downstairs to see what sort of q fish
erman it was who demanded so singu-
lar a price for his fish,"
ssThese are beautiful fish, said the
Marquis. "Come, my man, how
much money do you want for them 2"
"Not a penny, my lord" said the
fisherman; II will not take money.
If you wish to have the fish you must
order me hundred lashes on my
bare back: otherwise shall pply else
where"
"Rather tnan lose the fish," said
the Marquis, "we must lot this fellow
have what he asks. Here !" he cried,
TO one of his grooms, ''pay this man
his 100 lashes, which are his honest
demand; but don't lay them on too
hard-don't hurt him very much"
The fisherman stripped for the
whipping, and the groom prepared to
do his masters bidding.
"Now, my friend" said the fisher
man, ''keep the account correctly, I
beg of you, for don't want stroke
more than is my DUE"
The whole company were aston
ished at the bravery with which the
man bore the operation, until he re-
ceived the fiftieth lash. Then he cried
out, "Hold, my friend I've had my
full share of the price now"
s'Your share 70 exclaimed the Mar
quis. "What do you mean %
81 have a partner, my lord, whom |
promised q full half of whatever / got
for my fish, and think your lordship
would say that it would be q shame
to deprive him of q single stroke"
"Who is your partner 2"
"Your porter, my lord, who keeps
the outer gate. Although he knew
there was to be q feast, he refused to
admit me to the grounds until had
promised him half Of what l should
get for the fish,"
"Ho, no !" said the Marquis. 'That
is the sort of business done at the
outer gate, is it !? Well you have
your half of the pay, and now indeed,
your partner shall have the other
half /"
The dishonest porter received his
"payment" in full measure, and the
marquis sent the fisherman away with
90 SeOIIlnS.
